Hey I finally understand the nuances of meaning of that expression… it’s dangerous, it’s ugly and it smells… Never quite understood the expression before looking at this picture. Thanks

LemmyKnowsBest, (edited ) in Plowing

the years 2013 to 2016 we got particularly bad snowstorms a couple of those years, I guess it happens every year, neighborhoods seem to shut down when the snow plows don’t come through,

even the gyms were closed 😱 which was devastating to me at the time bc I couldn’t sit still and was always at the gym or running or biking when I wasn’t at work, and I couldn’t sit still,

so I was out there manually shoveling, My record was shoveling 13 hours in one day, I kid you not, an Epsom salt bath has never felt so good at the end of the day.

and while I was out there shoveling, one lady even asked me why I was doing that, I said because it’s exercise and it feels good and I’m clearing some spots which will be appreciated by at least a few people,

And I’m thinking in my mind

if everybody would come out here and do this, everybody shovel a few square feet of the street right in front of your own house, then we wouldn’t be snowed in. everybody would get amazing refreshing exercise, fresh air, community spirit & morale, and feel good and the streets would be clear in no time. Like ants can build huge sandmounds one grain of sand at a time, if we would just work together this wouldn’t be such a catastrophe.

But it doesn’t even occur to people that they could do that. Instead they sit around and do nothing and complain to the county about lack of snow plows, and they stay holed-up in their houses eating junk and getting fat. And when you’re fat and lazy, and you’ve clogged all your arteries with grease, that’s why you can’t shovel snow without breaking your back and getting a heart attack. That’s modern life.

Did you plow the lady?

LemmyKnowsBest,

I’m a heterosexual woman. So no.

Well this is awkward.

13 hrs of shoveling is a fucking lot though. Even in my prime I would be gassed, and my previous job entailed hiking and digging holes all day.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I’m a fitness queen. Am at the gym right now as a matter o’fact. We’re all born with marvelous bodies. Use it or lose it!

Tbf, it probably has occurred to them, but then they ridicule the thought even if it derives from their own head. The group-think mindset can be brutal: they are going to be unhealthy for life and then die sooner, but you can’t even tell them there is any other way, nor does actively showing it work either:-(. Stay strong and cling to the better way!:-)

Jocat didn’t get cancelled, he got bullied and his family threatened to the point he quit.

Donkter,

Ironically that’s far closer to actually being cancelled than whatever conservatives complain about.

mobius_slip,

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but what’s the difference? Getting cancelled isn’t exactly an official status that is bestowed on people.

Wes_Dev,

“The viewers are mad because of something you did or said, so we’re cancelling your show on our network.”

vs

“Hey everyone on this forum, let’s all dox this person and send anonymous hate mail to their actual home.”

Candelestine, in This situation is so ridiculous, this is the only way I know how to cope.

Apparently this is just some twitter drama? Not exactly Earth’s finest left back in that pit, don’t let them drag you down. Gotta be strong these days.

Letstakealook,

Idk what it’s about, but I think OP must be chronically online to post something like this with zero context expecting everyone else to understand it. It is time to touch grass and stop emotionally investing in internet drama.

macmacfire,
@macmacfire@lemmy.ml avatar

I wasn’t expecting anyone to understand without context(you can just find the context if you’re curious), and I’m not chronically online for being saddened by something horrible happening to someone I, in some way, idolize. Also, this isn’t internet drama, it’s a person being harassed and cyberbullied out of their career.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Despite being very grateful for what this job has done for me and my family, I’m simply not strong enough to keep doing this if it means having to just accept this kind and amount of distress. Perhaps that makes me weak, but I’ve rarely ever really thought otherwise.

I agree with Jocat, this isn’t a sign of weakness.

Can we drop this “gotta be strong” shit when people are literally dealing with thousands of random abusive asshats never leaving them be?

Candelestine,

Yeah, not saying they were the ones that need to be strong. OP is, if he’s this upset about what’s happening. Creating distress is their goal.

SnotFlickerman,

That’s a fair take, thanks for the clarification.

I’ve never felt more proud of not knowing so many words

highenergyphysics,

literally all I know about this image is that Lizzo is a disgusting piece of shit that sexually harasses, body shames, and is a huge misogynist to her staff and crew

Yes you read that correctly… it was all an act.

Khrux,

The final one is about a YouTube animator JoCat who was as far as I understand pretty beloved and charming.

I may not be up to date on events but while streaming he improved a gebderbent version of boys by Lizzo and people liked it so he made a full animation for it.

A small but loud number of people, primarily from outside his community considered the swapping of the genders and/or the platforming of Lizzo to be misogynistic and gave him enough hate that he permanently stepped away from content creation.

I have no idea if anything else has happened since but to my knowledge that’s the event that made him “cancelled”. Imo it’s different to being cancelled because most people are on his side and are supporting him, and everything I’ve seen about this news takes that stance. Him suffering abuse from a few niche corners of the internet and quitting the platforms is not the same as the internet’s collective consciousness turning against him. Metaphorically, he which his workplace due to bullying by people who foybd something he did obscene, he didn’t get fired for it.

henfredemars, (edited ) in Dating

I literally asked my wife to marry me on the first date and she said yes. Getting right to the point is a woman after my own heart. Neither of us have ever dated before or, naturally, since.

We’ve been together for ten years.

We are also on the spectrum so that may have been a factor.

SpaceNoodle,

Yeah that was a major factor

I think that I rather get to know someone better though 😅

Sprokes,

Why marriage? Can’t you just start living together first?

Asking someone to marry you on the first is just stupid. Many things could not work out and marriage is a big thing. Imagine spending time and money and then find out that you are not fit together. Then you live a miserable life or fill for a divorce.

The tax benefits tho :o

henfredemars,

No kidding. My employer has top quality health insurance too, and in the USA that’s a seriously big deal when your prospective partner has a health condition.

MonkderZweite,

Why marriage? Can’t you just start living together first?

Or not marry at all?

henfredemars, (edited )

We did–After we agreed to get married, because we were quite sure, but at the same time we didn’t want to impose such a stark change right away in case the change would exceed one’s ability to cope with change which could lead to panic, meltdowns, etc. Neither of us handle change very well. We didn’t actually get married immediately of course. She packed up a pod and moved in next. It was months before.

We also talked about having kids right away. Not having them right away! But we talked about it immediately, I think like five minutes in, because isn’t it important to know?

As a counterpoint: nothing in life is without risk. I’ve seen friends take it slow and end up divorced, too.

ChicoSuave,

Many guys don’t realize but a spectrum lady is perfect. They get to the point, tell you when something is wrong, and are excellent listeners. They also have incredibly complex hobbies that seem really simple, like knitting or baking, that can pay off for helpers around them as snacks and gifts. If you ever felt you didn’t find the person who speaks to you, think different.

Baccata,

Oh, the old “I know somebody with X so everybody with X is the same” …

Psychodelic,

Ok, but what about the most important thing? Are they freaks 😈

henfredemars,

Those attributes are an important part of what I like about her! Very direct, very plain to a fault. She has never and probably will never have an interest in playing interpersonal games. Zero drama. Loyal, because she doesn’t like change. She’s obsessive in her interests meaning we both easily get sufficient time to be our own person.

Sure, she’s exceptionally sensitive about certain textures and sounds, but I understand because I’m the same way. Meeting her was like living a life where everyone speaks this language that I just wasn’t born with, and finding someone else who is just as confused as I am was really validating.

So yes, I suggested that we marry, and she says yes you will suffice… which is perhaps the highest compliment she has ever paid me.

Dkarma,

I was happy for you until that last line…oof.

henfredemars,

Haha, well, I told my family that a person has to get to know her. She seems bitter at first but that’s just how she is. Besides, they don’t have to live with her. I do.

Not using her outward appearance, countenance, or facial expressions as indicative of her true feelings is part of the package. It takes getting used to, and it’s not right for everyone.

“Sufficient” is her elation.

Rolando,

she says yes you will suffice…

FWIW that totally made sense to me. When I read that, I caught my breath or my heart skipped a beat or something.

Archer,

It sounds like the important missing context is that no one else had ever been sufficient before

bnjmn,

What is ‘manic pixie girl’ lol; dont objectify/generalize your partner, especially a neurodivergent one.

Sagar,

What in the world is a “spectrum lady”. I have some friends who’d be interested in this adjective being assigned to a lady!

pearsaltchocolatebar,

As someone married to a spectrum lady, that description is absolutely not universal.
